WHAT IS DICHROIC GLASS?

Dichroic is defined in the dictionary as “The property of a surface of reflecting light of one color and transmitting light of other colors.” Transmitted colors are what you see when you would look through a clear piece of DichroMagic® glass. Reflected colors are the colors you see when you hold the glass in front of you, and will be opposite color of the reflected.

Dichroic coatings are produced by vacuum depositing multiple thin layers of exotic materials onto a glass substrate. This creates an optical filter that can selectively reflect and transmit wavelengths of light. The proprietary evaporants are vaporized in a crucible located in the bottom of the vacuum chamber, by a high voltage electron beam onto the rotating glass above. The glass is also rotated in the chamber through this vaporization process in order to deposit uniform coatings on the glass. Due to the difficult coating process there can be slight differences in color throughout the sheet, or from one sheet to the next.
 

If you are new to dichroic glass, a scrap pack is the most economical way for you to work with dichroic and not limit yourself to one color. The scrap packs give you many of colors to experiment with.  Available in 90 COE for use with Bullseye Glass and 96 COE for use with Spectrum Glass.

All packages of scrap are shrink wrapped in 1/4 lb. packages to ensure as few scratches as possible.
Colors and textures vary from pack to pack.

Prices will vary by weight of package
